The document establishes prevailing wage rates for over 200 job classifications across multiple occupational categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional services, transportation, and miscellaneous occupations. Wage rates range from $10.16 per hour (Carnival Worker) to $57.73 per hour (Nuclear Medicine Technologist), with most rates falling between $15 and $45 per hour. All occupations listed receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, $222.00 weekly, or $962.00 monthly), with an alternative rate of $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706 for certain SCA-covered contracts. Additional mandated benefits include two weeks paid vacation after one year of service (increasing to three weeks after eight years and four weeks after twenty years), a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually, and hazardous pay differentials of 4-8 percent for applicable positions. Special provisions apply to computer employees meeting exemption criteria under 29 U.S.C.
